4.2  Running the Quick Start Example Project 
To run the Quick Start example project, use the following instructions: 
1.  On power up or RESET, the three user LEDs will take on the following states: 
  LED1 Blue - Blinking at 1 Hz frequency and at 10% intensity 
  LED2 Green – Steady, full intensity 
  LED3 Red – Off 
 
Note:  The debug LED (LED5) will blink or light up orange; this can be ignored for now. 
 
2.  Press the user button (S1) on the EK-RA4M2 board to change the intensity of the user LED1. With every 
press of the user button (S1), the intensity will switch from 10% to 50% to 90% and cycle back. 
3.  Press the user button (S2) on the EK-RA4M2 board to change the blinking frequency of the user LED1 
(blue). With every press of the first user button (S2), the frequency will switch from 1 Hz to 5 Hz to 10 Hz 
and cycle back. 
4.  On the host PC, open Windows Device Manager. Expand Ports (COM & LPT), locate USB Serial 
Device (COMxx) and note down the COM port number for reference in the next step. 
 
Note:   USB Serial Device drivers are required to communicate between the EK-RA4M2 board and the 
terminal application on the host PC.
